No, 283 has too small a bore.
The old power pack heads that came on some 283's were 202,160's, so I would think the 305 heads should work just fine. Not sure about the resulting compression ratio though. The 305 intake might be aluminum, which would be lighter than the 283 intake.

How do you tell a 283 from a 350 small block Chevy?
A 283 doesn't have a harmonic balancer, so that's a quick way to tell right away. Also, 283's don't have accessory bolt holes on the ends of the heads. The valve covers on a 283 don't have a filler cap. Oil is added through a long tube sticking out of the intake manifold.

Carb and intake would interchange, distributor fits, bell housing bolt pattern is the same.
